The chakras are a series of seven energy fields or centers of consciousness in the body which harbor latent Divine energy known as Kundalini energy. The balance or imbalance of these vortices affects a person's health, as welI as his or her emotional and spiritual well-being and evolution.

Balancing the Chakras is an exploration of the body's use of this universal energy. Polarity Therapist Maruti Seidman maps out the pathway of the Kundalini energy while identifying and describing each chakra.

Unlike most available information on chakras, Balancing the Chakras also includes a thorough description of the symptoms of imbalance found in the body.

Seidman explores several leading modalities of healing and balancing the energy fields, including homeopathy, body work, aromatherapy, herbs, teas and flower essences.
